Overview
This is a book for anyone who has wondered if they are good enough to be a runner. The simple answer is yes. But anyone who has ever tried running knows, it takes a long time to feel comfortable saying I'm a runner. This book explores the many struggles this author had, both on the road in and in her head, that almost prevented her from lacing up and heading out. While this book is told from the perspective of a plus-size gal, anyone who struggles with self-doubt may relate to some of the highs and lows found in this book.
Description
Beth Probst is a non-athlete. Or so she believes. After a few too-many mojitos at a dinner party with friends (including a few "real" runners) she decides to give running a try. So she signs up for a half-marathon. After all, everyone seems to be doing it. And she's Finnish-stubborn. She's never run, but… how hard can it be?
After a not-even-mediocre first attempt, one plus-size would-be runner discovers a truth about breaking into running from a sedentary state: it's hard. Really hard. Like… F-bomb hard. But instead of quitting, she digs in and discovers the mental, physical, and wardrobe challenges of her undertaking— and the rewards.
